Written by Editors on February 26, 2009 You need something to watch or listen to this week? For February 26th we present movie, series, and music recommendations by 4jpz and Vietshortee.
4jpz's Picks
Movie: For the First Time
For the Hearts Month, it is just apt to recommend a romantic story of an unlikely couple whose fates and lives where entwined by cupid's arrow. A story of
the power of love that conquers all odds. This might be the first movie of Filipino actress KC Concepcion but her exemplar acting will touch everyone's
hearts. Added to that will be the beauty of Greece, the setting for the momentous love affair.
Series: Nodame Cantabile (Live Action)
Music, love and laughter all rolled in to one funny and romantic story. That is the charm of jdorama Nodame Cantabile. If you don't like classical music, you
will learn to love it for Megumi Noda and Shinichi Chiaki have showcased the beauty of the music intertwined with their quirky love story. Added to that is
the over the top hilarious scenes that will unseat you and make you roll on the floor laughing!
Track: My Happiness (Wo De Kuai Le) by Chin Hsiu
The soothing tunes of the piano plus the heart-wrenching scenes of Fated To Love You every time this song is played makes one truly feels the love. This
might not be the main theme of the series, but this is my most loved song amongst the soundtrack. The sad scenes of Fated to Love You will not be the same if
not for this song!

Track: SS501 – Because I'm Stupid (Boys Before Flowers OST)
This track is an upbeat/catchy/ yet also balled? love song sung by member: Heo Young Saeng, Kim Kyu Jong, and Kim Hyung Joon of Korean boy band; SS501. Since
their leader Kim Hyun Joong is a part of the current airing Korean Series: Boys before Flowers' cast, the 3 member decided to contribute to the series OST.
Thus, the song is also used as the ending theme song of the series. This song just leaves you with a curiosity/ exciting feeling for the next episode! XD
